Iridescence of Lights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTis the hap happiest\nseason of all,\u201d the song goes. And so it is this year as Christmas (Dec. 25),\nHanukkah (Dec 22-30) and Kwanzaa (Dec 26-Jan 1) converge, we are smack dab in\nthe midst of the festivities. One way these holidays are celebrated is with\nlights! Lights! Lights! Lights! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In celebration of the holidays, write an acrostic poem about\nyour holiday traditions. An acrostic poem uses the letter of a topic word or\nwords to create a poem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Write the word \u201cLight\u201d (or another holiday-related word)\nvertically down the length of a page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. For each letter, write a related word or idea beginning\nwith that letter extending out horizontally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Take a few moments to refine your poem. Try adding or\nchanging some words to add interest, rhythm or rhyme to your poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Select your favorite\nword or image to be the title of your poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luminous<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iridescent rainbow <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glimmering strands of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holiday magic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twinkling <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stars show the way home<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Holidays Y\u2019all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
